Product Review
That
summer weather is right upon us and I know that I am dreading
the bugs. There
is one way I have found that eliminates almost all of the
biting flies at my barn…beneficial insects…
They are little teeny weeny fly parasites that are gnat
sized nocturnal burrowing insects that do not bite sting or
harm humans in any way. They
kill flies in the developing pupal stage and eliminate the
adult fly! You
just put them out at dusk in a little pile of manure and you
will be surprised. They travel up to 50 feet in search of fly
larvae and use them as a food soured.
I have used these for about 10 years and have virtually
no flies at my barn. These
can be purchased from ARBICO,
They also have nematodes that will take care of fleas
and ticks, for those of us that have dogs as well.
I have used these for years and I swear by them.
I have 8 dogs now and ticks are few and far between and
we are in the country, woods and all!
 Next
is something I never really thought about, but love it now
that I have it. It
is a combination seat/cooler for rides, shows, just sitting at
the barn or taking on hikes. It is a small folding seat, very lightweight and has a built
in backpack cooler that is underneath.
It all folds up and doubles as a backpack.
It is so convenient I am surprised no one ever thought
about it before. I
got mine at M&M Tack in Raleigh
Last
is a case for the Easy Boot we all carry on long rides.
This is great as it has room for a few other things as
well. It attaches
easily to any saddle and can just stay there, doesn’t get in
the way and is always there when you need it.
They aren’t very expensive and they are called the
Easy Boot Stowaway They
repel water and are really easy to get into.
I use them as my summertime saddle bag.
